      Pink Floyd did it:

      Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

      You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

      Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

      Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

      Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

      And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

      And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

      No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

      And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking

      Racing around to come up behind you again

      Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you’re older

      Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

      Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

      Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines

      Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

      The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say
